Exes with Voices
I have two friends who find themselves in identical predicaments. They’re both married to husbands who, in their words, need to stop acting like a little boy and MAN UP.
The men in both cases are good men. Neither one of them could ever be accused of being a wot-less waste-man. They’re family men, loyal, kind-hearted and in all honesty, they’re both adorable. The kind of men who give single spinsters hope that there really are good men out there.
But the one problem shared between the two or even four is this. Both men have ex-girlfriends who won't vamoose and get the frig out of here. The exes insist on clinging on to men who don't want them simply for old times sake. If you open the door,
ex is on the doorstep. When you get on the bus, ex is driving it. When you board the train, ex is checking tickets. If you buy a newspaper, ex is the vendor. If you pick up the land-line, ex is on the other end of the phone. If you look at your mobile, ex has sent a text and if you open your laptop, ex has sent you an email. Both ex girlfriends are like salt... they’re EVERYWHERE!
It’s high time that both men dot the i’s and cross the t’s and tell the exes that it really is over, even though it's been over for a long time, it's OVER.
One friend said that she just wants her husband to understand that there’s nothing more unattractive than watching another woman tell him how high to jump. There’s nothing worse than another woman messing with their plans and there’s nothing worse than the behaviour of another woman being the reason why he’s sleeping on the sofa and she’s alone in the middle of the bed. She has to watch him get nagged, bullied, manipulated and trampled on by an 'ex who's an ex for a reason'.
The current wives just want one thing and it’s this. They want their man to be a man and stand up to the ex by saying THIS IS THE LAST TIME, THE LAST DAY, THE LAST HOUR AND THE LAST MINUTE THAT YOU TRY TO TAKE THE P*SS WITH ME. I’M NOT YOUR ANYTHING ANYMORE. MY ONE OBLIGATION WHERE YOU'RE CONCERNED IS TO MY CHILDREN. ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT BOUNDARY AND YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN. DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE AND DO NOT LET ME HAVE TO TELL YOU AGAIN! THIS IS THE POLITE VERSION AND THE OTHER VERSION IS POSITIVELY UGLY... YOU GET ME?
That's it. End of story. Man the Frig UP!

I can't stress enough how RIGHT ON TIME your words were because I'm going through the shame shit right now with my boyfriend. His X seems to pop up here there & everywhere. She's always calling shots, and doing things that antagonize situations and she just doesn't seem to go away and my boyfriend can't find the words f*** off to tell her. Its like all three of us are dating. I would happily tell her to f*** off but he seems to think that if I get involved, she'll take the kids away or poison them against him. If I knew what a conniving devil she was going to be, I wouldn't have given this man the time of day. The problem isn't him entirely. It's her nmostly. But the problem I have with him is he won't MAN UP like you say and tell her to get the f*** outta here. It's good to know I'm not alone but I guess it's up to me to either get him to tell her to get lost or I get lost myself. And she'd love that.
I hate her f****** guts! I really do.

Funny but oh so true. Men bury their heads in the sand where exes are involved because they feel guilty because there happy and have moved on.
The reason why women (and men)act badly as ex is because she's or he's screwing & angry and wants to cause maximum disruption and agro. I've been there. I've purposely been a problem ex but when I thought it was about time to focus on something more positive, I decided to move on. RElationships are hard.
Situation like this most men want to bury their heads in the sand
Oh pleaze dont get me started! Exes dont drown, die of heart attack, bust into flames or just wither away into dust. I WISH THEY WOULD.. OH I WISH THEY WOULD.
